Social Media is Taking Everyone by Storm…Even the Vatican?

Social Media is officially here to stay and in some instances that's not great news. Especially if the article published by The Daily Dot announcing the birth of Hashtag Jameson, a baby girl weighing in at 8 pounds is true.

The story has been reported by a number of sites and even got a mention from Stephen Colbert when he tweeted.

"A couple has named their baby 'hashtag.' What a great name, said his siblings Lycos and http://Pets.com"

If that's not proof enough that it's time to embrace social media, consider the fact that Pope Benedict XVI sent his first tweet December 12th, 2012. As of publish, he's got nearly 1.4 million followers and at 17 tweets to date that's nearly a tweet a day.
